Use room temperature ingredients for best results; room temperature butter creams up so much better than cold butter, and that&#8217;s really what gives you those thick, chewy cookies we&#8217;re going for. In your stand mixer (or with a hand mixer), use the paddle attachment to beat together the butter and sugars in a large bowl until fluffy. Add the egg and extracts. Then in a medium bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients \u2014 purpose flour, pudding mix, and baking soda. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. White dough, here we come! \ud83d\ude4c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fold in your blue M&amp;M candies, white chocolate chips, and extra sprinkles. Use a cookie scoop to drop equal portions of cookie dough balls onto a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Keep the cookie sheet from getting overcrowded \u2014 give those babies some space! Bake until just golden brown around the edges. The bake time is quick, so don&#8217;t walk away! Transfer to a wire rack or cooling rack and let them cool before diving in (if you can wait \ud83d\ude02). You can also prep the dough ahead of time and refrigerate each piece of dough until ready to bake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recipe-tips-and-flavor-variations\">Recipe Tips and Flavor Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use regular pudding mix \u2014 not sugar free or fat free. This is THE secret to getting that impossibly soft, tender crumb!<\/li><li>The almond extract + vanilla extract combo creates that signature funfetti flavor. No extracts? Just vanilla still makes delicious patriotic cookies.<\/li><li>White chocolate chips keep the blue theme going strong \u2014 but chocolate chips work great too if you want a richer, fudgier bite.<\/li><li>No chilling required! This is such an easy recipe \u2014 no waiting around.<\/li><li>For flavor variations, try a splash of lemon extract for a bright july sugar cookies twist. So dreamy for a july celebration!<\/li><li>Want to decorate? Pipe on some blue icing, royal icing, or powdered sugar glaze and toss on extra blue sprinkles for the most adorable, cute patriotic things ever. You can even use gel food coloring to tint your own blue colors into a simple glaze.<\/li><li>Like mother like daughter \u2014 these are the cookies my kids beg to make every single summer. So much fun! \ud83d\udc99<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are truly perfect party treats for any july celebration. Want even more easy cookies ideas?
